1987 Ford E-150 Econoline

The 1987 Ford E-150 Econoline is a notable entry in the third generation of Ford’s E-Series vans, produced between 1975 and 1991. Engine options for this model typically included a 4.9L inline-six and a 5.0L V8, with the latter often featuring electronic fuel injection (EFI) that enhanced performance compared to earlier carbureted variants. Transmission choices comprised a 3-speed automatic and a 4-speed automatic, with the latter offering improved fuel efficiency due to its overdrive gear. The E-150 is a rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicle, with a wheelbase of approximately 124 inches and a weight range of 4,500 to 5,000 lbs. While not designed for speed, it achieves a top speed of around 85-100 mph and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 11-15 seconds. The boxy design of the 1987 model enhances its functionality for commercial applications and customization.
